"Twitter will begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for more than six months, unless they log in before an 11 December deadline. It is the first time Twitter has removed inactive accounts on such a large scale." DONE!

"Malapportionment is unconstitutional in the United States, except when it applies to the Senate, and that creates a power imbalance that belies the psephological maxim: Land doesn’t vote. Except, of course, when it does."

"Clinton swept the fifty most educated counties; Trump swept the fifty least .. The indices that populists use to define elites - money, education, connections, power - would have picked out the old upper and upper-middle classes of the last century."

Krugman: If the GOP keeps the House, THEN you're gonna see the Authoritarian Will-to-Power REALLY kick in. "The GOP is an authoritarian regime in waiting, not yet one in practice. What’s it waiting for?" Midterms results. nytimes.com/2018/10/08/opi…

"Where is the Court that claimed it was at least striving to transcend partisan politics? That Court is gone forever. We will spend at least the rest of my lifetime fighting over its rotting corpse. No prating about civility can change that fact. The fight is upon us now."
